Guard D’Angelo Russell and forward Draymond Green will rest for the Warriors in Monday night’s preseason game against Lakers at Staples Center.

Russell and Green are expected to be back in the lineup, while Curry will sit Wednesday’s matchup. Curry is expected to be the lone star player participating in Monday’s exhibition.

“I mean, it’s just more of the same, just continuing to build habits. We have a couple things we want to focus on, just common Warrior themes like taking care of the ball and rebounding,” Curry said. “But there will be some different lineups out there, so we want to see how we can keep building momentum as we mix and match tonight.

“Same thing on Wednesday, and just keep getting better.”

Earlier in the week, coach Steve Kerr said he planned to rest a few key players during this week’s two-game trip to Los Angeles. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are also expected to sit Monday as the Lakers are returning from an international trip to China, where they played the Nets in a pair of preseason games.
